“…symptoms may be a combined psychology and speech pathology-based program that could be considered as mandatory training for university professors. Such a program, directed by the quality of teaching unit, may for example entail combined respiration techniques that known to improve vocal symptoms (eg, breath support for muscle tension relaxation, lowering speech rhythm to allow better breath, and expiratory muscle strength training 30 ) and breath-based intervention including muscle relaxation can be combined with deep breathing with the potential to obtained additional stress relief and increase general wellbeing (eg, cognitive behavioral therapy, mind-body practices, and yogic breathing practices 31 ).…”

Psychological stress may have an adverse impact on the voice. The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between the change in levels of perceived psychological stress and vocal symptoms among Israeli academic college professors required to shift to synchronous online teaching during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. An online questionnaire was completed by 313 professors (156 men and 157 women) from 14 academic colleges in Israel at the end of the first week of online synchronous teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was assumed to be the most burdened and stressful week of the transition. Participants provided self-reports for the current levels of psychological stress and vocal symptoms during the transition to online synchronous teaching, as well as general psychological stress and general vocal symptoms during previous periods of teaching. Results. The results revealed higher levels of psychological stress but not vocal symptoms during the transition to online synchronous teaching compared with previous periods of teaching. Psychological stress during the transition to online synchronous teaching was positively associated with vocal symptoms during this period but this association was moderated by general stress. Although there was a positive association between psychological stress and vocal symptoms for individuals who reported low levels of psychological stress during previous periods of teaching, this association was especially strong for individuals who reported high levels of psychological stress during previous periods of teaching. Conclusions. It is important to examine vocal symptoms of professors in specific contexts that are potentially stressful. The psychological stress surrounding the transition to online synchronous teaching was associated with elevated levels of vocal symptoms especially for those who reported high levels of psychological stress during previous periods of teaching. These results with professors accord with the notion that psychological stress may have a negative impact on the voice.

“…A voz, com adequado suporte respiratório, mostra diferentes características espectrográficas em relação ao NPS, máximo fluxo de ar e pressão subglótica do que a voz sem suporte (Côrtes & Gama, 2010;Cielo et al, 2015;Sundberg & Thalen, 2015;Tsai et al, 2016). Do ponto de vista da percepção, a voz com apoio respiratório está diretamente relacionada a um bom controle da emissão vocal (Gava Júnior, Ferreira, & Andrada e Silva, 2010;Traser et al, 2017).…”

“…Uma das teorias que explica a produção da voz é a teoria linear fonte-filtro que considera a vibração laríngea como a fonte e o trato vocal como o filtro. Nesse contexto, Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 7, e172974050, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i7.4050 4 laringe é um transdutor de energia aerodinâmica (nível respiratório) em acústica, por meio dos ciclos de abertura e fechamento das pregas vocais (nível fonatório), e o filtro se compõe das cavidades de ressonância que exercem efeitos sobre o som glótico, modificando-o (nível articulatório/ressonantal) (Côrtes & Gama, 2010;Beber & Cielo, 2012;Sousa, Mello, Ferreira, & Silva, 2015;Tsai et al, 2016).…”

“…Dentre os principais fatores, estão o volume e a força do fluxo expiratório, fonte de energia para a vocalização. O adequado suporte respiratório garante à voz ressonância, projeção, foco, estabilidade e maior qualidade (Sousa et al, 2015;Sundberg & Thalen, 2015;Tsai et al, 2016).…”

“…A ação do diafragma, principal músculo inspiratório, e a sua sinergia com os demais grupos musculares como os abdominais é fundamental para o suporte respiratório (Valente et al, 2015;Frigo & Braz, 2016;Tsai et al, 2016). O inadequado desempenho da musculatura envolvida na respiração pode levar à diminuição da capacidade vital e do fornecimento de ar em nível glótico (Goffi-Fynn & Carroll, 2013;Traser et al, 2017).…”

The adequate respiratory support ensures resonance, projection, focus, stability, and better vocal quality. The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the activation of the core musculature and the spectrographic acoustic vocal characteristics in a group of adult women. This is a cross-sectional, observational, analytical, and quantitative study with ten women 19 to 28 years old, without vocal complaints, and without laryngeal disorders. Spectrographic vocal analysis, maximum expiratory pressure measurement, and evaluation of the multifidus, transverse and perineum muscles were performed. The data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation Test at 5 %. The results showed significant positive correlation between the maximum expiratory pressure and the definition of the second formant; between the activation of the perineal muscle and the regularity of the spectrographic tracing. And showed significant negative correlation between the activation of the multifidus muscles and the width of the second formant. It was concluded that the more activated the perineal musculature, the greater the regularity of the spectrographic tracing; the higher the maximum expiratory pressure, the greater the definition of the second formant; and the greater the activation of the multifidus muscles, the smaller the bandwidth of the second formant. Such findings demonstrate the role of the core strength in the vocal quality. A relationship was established among the maximum expiratory pressure, the activation of the core muscles, and the spectrographic vocal characteristics.
